<h2>$ModLoad</h2>
<p><b>Type:</b> global configuration directive</p>
<p><b>Default:</b> </p>
<p><b>Description:</b></p>
<p>Dynamically loads a plug-in into rsyslog's address space and activates it. 
The plug-in must obey the rsyslog module API. Currently, only MySQL and Postgres 
output modules are available 
as a plugins, but users may create their own. A plug-in must be loaded BEFORE 
any configuration file lines that reference it.</p>
<p>Modules must be present in the system default destination for rsyslog 
modules. You can also set the directory via the <a href="rsconf1_moddir.html">
$ModDir</a> directive.</p>
<p>If a full path name is specified, the module is loaded from that path. The 
default module directory is ignored in that case.</p>
<p><b>Sample:</b></p>
<p><code><b>$ModLoad ommysql # load MySQL functionality<br>
$ModLoad /rsyslog/modules/ompgsql.so # load the postgres module via absolute path</b></code></p>
